EN 29 Frequency Response 15 Glossary Is the range of frequencies that a speaker reproduces, lowest frequency to the highest. While the optimal normal is 20-20,000 Hz B (Hertz), the range of human hearing for individuals is often much more restricted.

30 EN MSC [Mass Storage Class] The USB mass storage device class (or USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing

communications protocols that provide an English interface to storage devices. Devices that support this standard are referred to as MSC (Mass Storage Class) devices. MTP [] Media Transfer Protocol supports the transfer of music and video files to portable audio and video players.

R Rip (ripping) Using a software program that “grabs” digital audio from a compact disc and transfers it to a computer hard drive. The integrity of the data is preserved, because the signal does not pass through the computer sound card, and need not be converted to an analog format. The digital-to-digital transfer creates a WAV file that can then be converted into an MP3 file.

S SuperScroll SuperScroll™ is a navigation feature of the double-action search keys of the product. SuperScroll™ allows easy speed control when scrolling through large libraries to swiftly find items within large libraries. Longer press of the button results in faster scroll speed.
